NOTE: This section was approved by Ordinance No. 399 on August 26, 2008.

1. This section applies to any "cash advance establishment" (which include "check cashing" business, or "deferred deposit transaction business" or "advanced payday lender" or similar operation) where the business cashes payroll, government, personal, and other types of checks, among other related services, while taking a commission off the face-value of the check. It also includes any business that provides payday lender services provides small cash loans based on a borrowers personal check held for future deposit or on electronic access to a borrower's bank account in exchange for the borrower including a fee for the loan in the face value of the personal check or providing other consideration of any kind. The businesses defined below are within the scope of this section:
   1. "Check cashing center" means an establishment that, for compensation, engages in the business of cashing checks, warrants, drafts, money orders or other commercial paper serving a similar purpose. This classification does not include a state or federally chartered bank, savings association, credit union or similar financial institution. This classification does not include establishments selling consumer goods, including consumables, where the cashing of checks or money orders is incidental to the main purpose of the business.
   2. "Check cashing facility" means an establishment primarily engaged in cashing payroll or personal checks for a fee or advancing funds on future checks, not including state or federally chartered banks, credit unions, savings and loans, or similar financial institution.
   3. "Payday lender business" means an establishment that offers, originates, or makes a deferred deposit transaction. A "deferred deposit transaction" is a transaction whereby a person defers depositing a customer=s personal check until a specific date, pursuant to a written agreement. A payday lender business does not include a state or federally chartered bank, savings association, credit union, or similar financial institution, or retail stores that incidentally charge a fee not exceeding $2.00 to cash checks or money orders as a service to customers.
2. Findings. The City Council of Harrisville finds and declares the following:
   1. According to the Consumer Federation of America, because of the high fees paid for these short term loans and check cashing services, some borrowers may pay the equivalent of more than 900% annual percentage rate interest on their loan.
   2. According to certain studies, check cashing and payday lender businesses have grown over 1300% nation-wide between 1996 and 2007 and are estimated to be growing at a rate of 15% a year. The growth of check cashing and payday lender businesses appear to be predominantly focused in moderate and lower income neighborhoods.
   3. That a large portion of the City includes moderate and lower income neighborhoods.
   4. A recent study by "The Progressive Policy Institute" reveals that a traditional bank account is the first step toward giving low-income Americans access to the mainstream tools for wealth creation now taken for granted by the middle-class. The unchecked proliferation of check cashing and payday lender businesses has lead to the displacement of full service banking institutions, making access to traditional banking services even more difficult in lower income neighborhoods.
   5. Continued proliferation of check cashing and payday lender businesses can result in a reduction or displacement of needed financial services and other commercial benefits in these neighborhoods.
   6. That appropriate land use and regulatory controls on these types of businesses can still provide for this service while off-setting the negative effect upon the City.
3. Limitation on businesses defined in this section:
   1. No business shall be located within one (1) mile of any other or similar business within or outside the city limits.
